Title: [wxSmith] How do I install it?
Post by: lesnewell on November 06, 2005, 06:39:14 pm
I am probably missing something obvious here but how do I install the wxSmith in Linux? I opened the project and it compiled fine. The update script failed the first time due to permissions but appeared to run OK after I ran C::B as root. What do I do now?

I never try in Linux before but it should be the same . Under menu "Plugins" > Manage Plugins , check the wxSmith v1.0 . You need to restart Code Blocks .

After restart , you can see an extra Menu Item named "wxSmith"  , and you can follow the tutorial in the wiki written by byo to play with wxSmith :)
 The tutorial is at http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/WxSmith_Tutorial_%26_Pointers

If You have compiled wxSmith, all You need is to copy the result to proper directories:
Code
cp -R CB_SRC_DIR/src/devel/share/CodeBlocks/* /usr/local/share/codedblocks

But unfortunately It fails to load  :oops:. I don't know why, perhaps some undefined references or something like that (I don't know exactly since C::B doesn't show error messages when loading plugins, there's only notification that it failed).

So maybe You'll have to wait some time for Linux-compatible wxSmith :(

If that cp command-line is a copy-paste of what you typed, it might be the fact that you have a typo in there (extra 'd'). Also, I don't use the Linux version, but are you sure it's not /CodeBlocks at the end? (Linux filenames are case-sensitive)

I will experiment further. wxSmith works great on my Windows box. Thanks.

Yop, should be CodeBlocks :oops: (I don't know what's going on - I've switched to other keyboard and I sometimes have such additional letters, and keyboard is working properly, so there must be a bug in my head but it's hard to trace ;) ).
But I've copied and checked - files were where in right place. The same happen inside profiler plugin. Is there any way to get error message ? Any ideas ?

On my SuSE 10 I see this bug. Plugin can't loaded.
Need open comments (output into a debug window) in pluginmanager.cpp & compile C::B.
Run C::B & see the Debug Log window.
I can't time now, but try test it later (2-3 days).
I use this method early, then try start the svn plugin on my Win.

I try investigate it yesterday. I have low experience, then I can't understand.

Results of my investigate see below:

In sdk/pluginmanager.cpp:

in cbPlugin* PluginManager::LoadPlugin(const wxString& pluginName)

I comment line:

//    wxLogNull zero; // no need for error messages; we check everything ourselves...

And I see next message box on start C::B:

Code
22:39:03: /usr/local/share/codeblocks/plugins/libwxsmith.so: undefined symbol: _ZTV7wxSmith
22:39:03: /usr/local/share/codeblocks/plugins/libprofiler.so: undefined symbol: _ZTV10CBProfiler

As I see, cbprofiler has a similar problem, too.  :o

I look libwxsmith.o, and look an empty list, wow!

Unstrupped version libwxsmith.so content list, but _ZTV7wxSmith haven't address.

I don't understand this. Anybody can help?

Makefile.unix for wxSmith is very very different from (for example) the codestat plugin.

I used SuSE 10.

Code
./configure <adlasdf> --with-contrib-plugins=all
Pass this option and rebuild.

In general it's a good ide to run ./configure --help .

That's valid for all autotools based projects, not just C::B !
